Ace Capitol reporter Tom Scheck had a few minutes between assignments today so he went up to Dean Johnson’s office to see what’s new. There was Dean starting a conversation with Eric Eskola of WCCO and Brian Bakst of the Ap (two of Polinaut’s favorite dinner companions — well at least once every four year’s in some far-off city where a political convention is being held). So they locked the door behind them and had a chat.
